Project RX7 Race car - Progress so far!

Patience! I can take it up to 6500 rpm now though. :) She won't see 9500-10k until May though, after we get a chance to break it in on the track a little. I will definitely take video.

Well only the gauges left to do, and the engineer who is doing them assures me it will be a 10 minute install. Hopefully he's right because he's coming to our house just in time to hitch a ride to the car show tomorrow night. Looks like we'll be working on the car at the show. Oh well, the rest of it is done, and after working on the trailer all weekend, that's done and safety inspected too!

I'll take some more photos tonight. I think we will be firing it up to drive it around the turning circle on our street and make sure it actually moves. LOL The neighbours are soooooooooo glad that we're moving in 1 month.
 
LOL I know the feeling. Every time I have to fire up the miata at 5:30AM on a sunday to go to an autocross lol
 
luckily, once the FC is running, i wont be the worst neighbor....the one accross the street from us likes to unload his mini dragster trailer for his son on wed/fri nights after 10:30 and starts up his pit/tow quad and drives it up and down the street.....
 
Well I already had one neighbour yell at me, and 2 cop cars show up. haha
 
they suck....if i heard that start up in the middle of the night i'd come out of the house and pull up a chair...
 
I should note, we rarely fire the car up after 9pm or before 8am. And when I got yelled at it was lunch time on a Sunday. haha

I was like "well, it's noon. When do you propose I do this?"


He said never. :( Stupid asshole.

The house we're moving into has someone who races oval track living in it now, with their old car there. And half of the racers in my series live in the same area. :)
